I am MARE Ibrahim Mahamane, expert certified by several reference organizations in Africa (Afric’innov, AfriLabs, VC4A and i4Policy Foundation) on a wide variety of sub-domains and aspects related to Entrepreneurship, Innovation, African Tech and Impact services (evaluation, measurement and management). Through my passion for these fields and consulting, I have been practicing mentoring as a profession for more than three (3) years. Having served four (4) various platforms : – VC4A and MicroMentor since 2021 ; – The Tony Elumelu Foundation Program (for 2022 edition) ; – Recently with Ignite.E for the Greenpreneurship program aimed at sustainable entrepreneurs in Senegal. It should be note that all these mentoring experiences take place remotely and online, in a wide variety of activity sectors and categories of organization (Startups/Scale-Up/SMEs). Experiences focused mainly on the entrepreneurial ecosystems of francophone West African countries. With twenty entrepreneurs accompanied, 40% women and 95% satisfaction rate evaluated among the beneficiaries of my mentoring services.
